World's most expensive kit


Recommended Posts

Some kits on ebay have been ridiculous.

I think Vince said he is talking straight up retail cost for a stock type kit and not inflated eBay prices.

Pocher is back under Hornby's ownership now. They revealed a 1/8 Lamborghini Aventador at Nuremberg this year but no price has been released as it is not available yet. I'm sure it will be up there though.

Surely worth the money though since the level of detailing is mind blowing.

I wish a similar kit of the Group B Delta S4 would emerge one day. You can be sure I would be ready to pay that sum or even a bit more for a kit like that!

Not as expensive as Lotus, but at half the price atleast as amazing. :)/>

Has that come down in price? I thought it was around 800$ when it was first released.

That new Tamiya 1/12 car kits are pretty freaking ridiculous too and that's for a mostly plastic kit.

Wow Holmes, that makes the Lotus 79 look like an absolute bargain!

Just looked at the Andrea website - The U Boat is only £1590 if you buy from them direct....and whilst you're there, you can also buy a 1/32 Adolf Hitler to put in your submarine!

I'm surprised that no has said the 1:1 scale F-35 JSF yet :rofl: . Just kidding but I agree with Bigasshammm that 1/72 Chinese aircraft carrier. It is made of steel or some metal alloy and the shipping would just put it over the top $$$.

Hmm. Live steam tends to be uber expensive. This 1 guage Union Pacific Challenger 4-6-6-4 locomotive is NOT the most expensive at $13,500. The large ones are 7 1/2" guage (1/8 scale), are driven by an engineer, pull cars containing several adults, and can takes years to machine and build...

OK, not in kit form, but still a model. How about a 1/8 Lamborghini Aventador for a cool $6.5 mil! You can get it in carbon fiber with solid gold rims or gold plated.

Oh yea, and real gems in the seats...

This is ridiculous, when a scale model cost more than the real deal. You could buy 20 real ones for that money!!!

I was gonna say the same thing. I'd rather spend the money on a real Lambo than shell out $6.5m on a model, in fact if I had an extra $6m kickin' around burning a hole in my pocket I'd buy a jet, a real jet and go flying not buy a model car, I'd rather give 6 million people $1 then shell out that kind of money on a model, hell I'd still have $500,000.00 left to still buy a Lambo and fill it with premium at Atlantic Canadian gas prices! Shall I continue to tell you what I'd rather spend $6.5m on? lol
